@@WM-mu8ep I wouldn't eat wheat thins they have carbs, And I'm having lunch have a 1/2 gallon of milk and a block of cheese right now + 6 hard boiled eggs
When I was 18 I decided to lose weight. I weighed about 205 lbs. and stood around 6 feet tall. Here's what I did. . .AND IT WORKED!!! I began jogging every day (LONG before jogging was even close to being "a thing" to do). I didn't run very far, but I ran EVERY DAY. I quit eating sugar and carbs. NO bread, cake, cookies etc. I only ate protein, beef and a little fish once in a while. . .And lots of veggies such as broccoli, some peas and carrots, and some green beans. I drank water, some unsweetened tea, some unsweetened coffee and diet sodas once in a while as well. I became addicted to this routine as the weight began to come off. In fact, I took it too far and finally at 145 lbs. I said enough is enough and stopped being so strict about my diet. But I did NOT go back to much sugar as I had kind of lost my taste for it, and even though I did go back to some carbs, I didn't overdo that either. From that time on I have maintained a weight of around 157 lbs. ever since. I'm now 73 and I've noticed a bit of fat around my middle since I became a "covid recluse" for the past three ridiculous years, but I can handle that now that the world isn't demanding that I "hide out" in my apartment anymore. My point is that after my diet regimen at 18 to lose weight, I haven't constantly denied myself some things I want occasionally, and my weight hasn't gotten out of control. I think it's more common sense than having a list of this is OK and this isn't. I pretty much KNOW what isn't, and just don't overdo those things. So now at 73 my motto is, "Everything in moderation. . .Including moderation."
Thanks, I'm 6'00 and have been 205 for the last 20 years, I gained 21 pounds in the last 3 weeks because I have been sugar binge eating sugar like crazy which facilitates more Sugar cravings. I've eliminated sugar for 3 days, fasted and I cannot believe my body is changing already in 3 days so I will walk, not run, 30 minutes a day but also follow your matrix!!
Good summary of healthy eating...it took me over 50 years to come to this same conclusion 😊 Low carb, high fat eating only real foods now. Lost 50 pounds and don't have sugar craving and binging anymore. Industrial processed foods and seed oils are the worst and avoid completely. Good health to you ❤
So to sum up the video, the best food you can have is a nice big bowl of water. Maybe you can have some shaved ice over top now and then, but don’t overdo it guys 😂
When he is saying that he was a former Olympian, it is 100% true since I was at the same Olympic games and remembers him! Me- Athletics, team Canada 1992-1996 ;-) He is an Olympic life champion! Best regards and thank you from Montreal, Canada!
Yeah, I think I read somewhere that he was top 10 (maybe 9th) in the Olympics he competed in. Some people think that if you don't get a medal, then you failed. Top 10 in the world is an outstanding achievement, making him a premiere world-class athlete. I was a college runner, not Olympic material (didn't even qualify for Olympic trials in my event, the 800, missed by 3 full seconds, which is a lot), but I know how much work goes into getting to that level. (In my case, I put in the work, but simply didn't have the physical talent to get there.)
You're blessed with a logical and analytical mind. Your research on a particular topic and sharing the results generously in an everyday language is adorable. You're doing an amazing job Dr.!
Thank you Habib Malik. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and the mechanism we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
@@drekberg You are precisely correct. Understanding how and why something works enables Someone to take correct action to fix it. You practice the long lost talent of teaching people how to think Today, people are trained to simply believe whatever they are told, Is beginning an elementary school, At least since 1960s. They are not taught critical thinking and because of this, Hundreds of millions of people believe all kinds of lies over the last several decade. Like the food Pyramid which Was taught in all-American schools, Which demonized fats, Eggs, meat and told you to eat more grain. I remember after Americans followed this everywhere, everyone got fat and heart disease got worse. The same thing happened withappen with political and historical beliefs as well. So many people believe Ridiculous things just because their teacher, professor, and especially someone please someone in the main screen media dear told them to think that.
Agreed about his personality and generosity too. My insurance would never cover five minutes of what we get from him. We're very lucky to have people like him willing to help others.
Agree with all that have posted in this thread. I also listen to Dr Berg and Dr Berry but my favourite is Dr Ekberg for the very reason that he has an exceptional ability to explain concepts.
Ever since I discovered this man last year he has changed my family's health and diet/lifestyle. So grateful! Hopefully we can travel to your clinic one day!
Agree! I live in Florida, maybe a long drive but so very tempting. Been trying to find something comparable, more local without success so far. Many of the Homeopathic listed doctors here appear to be on the weird side, at least to me but really don't know. Dr. Ekberg comes across very scientific, well thought out reasoning vice using Voodoo magic for cures.
Dr Ekberg is a brilliant communicator with a great approach. These short videos with clear, calm explanations started me on my road to (much) better health, over a year ago. So so grateful!
Actually, that's really effective FINANCIAL advice, since your clients' improved health will quickly translate into money saved. And, if they're still working, then by improving their health, looks, and brainpower, they will probably make more money, too.
I've saved tons of money keeping up with good health all these years! 50 yrs old..haven't seen a doctor in about 20yrs or so, haven't even had insurance in almost 17yrs! $$$$$$$$ tons of money saved in rip off America! Sure I might have cancer soon from the environment, but how long do we really want to live in this messed up world?
Crazy, but sad! Those likes should be much, much higher! Everyone needs to double check at the end of the video to be sure they remembered to hit the 👍 button!
@@Lucinda_Jackson Actually I meant that many videos never reach 1K likes ever, and it is great to see Dr. Ekberg's video get that much just within the first hour.
@@chriswhitehouse8982 Yes, I knew what you meant. You were clear. I was ADDING to that - it’s a shame that so many come and learn but don’t repay by just simply hitting the 👍. I know sometimes I used to forget myself so I now check again before I actually leave his channel. ☀️
Sorry Dr Ekberg but I don't get your thumbnail. It says that hummus is a no-no (a big disappointment for me as a hummus lover), but when going inside the video you don't really explain why. All you say is that the study that showed that chickpeas are better than toast & jam and whole wheat does not necessarily mean that chickpeas are good. However you never pointed out exactly what is wrong with chickpeas. So either you used a misleading thumbnail or you never bothered to stand behind its message.
The chickpeas were part of a Study which was mentioned in the whole last quarter of the video. He considered it a flawed study. Flawed reasoning is a big part of all the confusion around proper nutrition. If you don’t have any metabolic disorders like diabetes then eat hummus.
The last sentence is pure gold : "You can never predict an individual case based on the everage statistics". It is true not only in the medical field, but in every domain of life. Pitty so few people understand that.
I'm confused. One group say eat this but another says don't eat it. One group says work out another says work outs wont help you. Why cant the health industry provide consistent advice?
Thank You William Bolton. That is the whole point of every video in my library. Once you understand the mechanisms and principles, you don't have to take anyone else's word for it. You figure out what list makes sense and what's going to work for you. 😄
@@drekberg Thank you for your response. I agree and I accept that we all have subtly different responses to various diets and exercises. It just feels a bit frustrating when I hear apparently sound advice elsewhere only to realise later that it may not be the best way to proceed. I have a lot to thank you for, I have lost 30lbs over the last 18 months following your advice and working out from home, so I don't include you in my criticism of the food and health industries.
I think with the work out message the consistent element is that excersise (at an appropriate intensity) will benefit you, but those saying it won't help you are perhaps trying to dispel the common belief that losing fat *requires* frequent strenuous activity. I follow a personal trainer who is still having to tell people you can't do sit ups to get a flat stomach and that "abs are made in the kitchen" because that myth still persists.
Im happy to tell you, that at 69, I went from 204 to 165 pounds and feel better than for many years. My waist and indeed my whole body is smaller, I look like I did after High School. I can still run and play and defend myself, if necessary!!:) Thanks so much for your help! I enjoy cooking my own chicken or steak or salmon, with berries and greens and eggs, OMAD works great, I never feel hungry. I allow myself little treats and they do not add weight because I eat only a few and with my other food. I had serious insulin resistance and now I have the tools to control it and all the rest, it's fabulous. Thanks again!;)
Result! Keep on going, the benefits are brilliant. I wished we'd had this information in our youth (I'm a similar age); instead we had "Findus Crispy Pancakes" and "Angel Delight"
I'm diabetic, in remission. I went from 225 to 145 because of the diabetes, then leveled out when I got my BG under control. I've gained 9 pounds since I started eating lots of home-made chickpea hummus. It doesn't make my BG go up a lot, but it stays up, sometimes around125, for a long time. Like 4 hours or longer, and even into the next day. And I love hummus, I could live on the stuff.
@@sukhjotesingh9613, not eating for fun or out of boredom anymore. Eating my first meal of the day as late as possible and the last one no later than 8-9h from the first one. And, of course, I've tried to forget about unhealthy food. Quite easy, looking at the big picture.
@@Dantutz excellent advice. I'm on the same path. I've lost 2.5 kilos by simply stopping with the junk food high carbs I was eating out of boredom. I've also thrown in a quick 20 - 30 minute workout and go on several walks a day.
I lost 140 lbs in one year, and I absolutely ate beans, bananas, berries, etc. what I cut was starch from pasta, bread, rice, and potatoes, and lessened my portions, and I used intermittent fasting. What works for one may not work for someone else, but I WAS fat, and did have a big belly, and I lost it eating many of the foods you say not to. 💁🏼♀️ (I am not, and have never been diabetic. Maybe that makes a difference.)
In science we call this anecdotal fallacy. "My uncle Louie smoked and drank everyday and lived to 110." We don't know you or your diet before and after. However, science has shown that it is possible to eat fruits and carbs and be healthy. I haven't eaten meat in over fifty years and am extremely healthy.
It also depends on your life style. But this doctor is simply presenting factual numbers, when it comes to these foods' characteristics and properties.
00:00 🍏 Different opinions on best foods for losing belly fat require understanding the underlying reasons for including them in a list. 00:56 🍌 Eating certain foods doesn't "burn" fat; it's more about how long you can go between meals without eating. 02:38 🍌 Bananas can be high in carbs, especially fructose, which can contribute to belly fat for individuals with fatty liver or insulin sensitivity issues. 04:00 🥛 Flavored yogurts often contain excess sugar, counteracting any potential benefits from the good bacteria they provide. 05:50 🍓 Antioxidants don't deliver more oxygen; they counteract the action of oxygen. Berries are beneficial but won't directly lead to fat loss. 08:01 🌾 Complex carbs like oatmeal and brown rice don't lower insulin; they're neutral to it. Comparing them to sugary cereals doesn't make them a healthy choice. 09:52 🥛 Chocolate skim milk may be low in calories but contains high sugar, contributing to insulin levels and fatty liver, a main cause of belly fat. 13:14 🍽️ Caloric deficit is crucial, but choosing foods that keep you full longer is key. Focus on real, nutritious foods, not just counting calories. 16:37 🥙 The study on chickpeas compared to toast and jam doesn't definitively prove chickpeas are a fantastic choice; it only shows they're better than the latter. 20:12 📊 Studying insulin effects on a mildly overweight, mildly insulin resistant population may not be applicable toindividuals with more significant insulin resistance. Statistical averages may not apply to individual cases.
@@crand20033 Hey everyone So recently I got admission in a bachelor's of comp sci program abroad in EUROPE but my parents are refusing to pay for it I don't know what to do they think Turkish unis are cheaper or maybe since I am a female they don't want me to get educated so o would really appreciate any advice on this matter the tuition is around 3 lacs per semester and they even refuse to pay the lower amount which is 60 thousand ruppess monthly just so I could atleast start the classes as the 2 months r online, any advice ? How do I collect the funds I even threatened and said I might have to ask the relatives but I feel like that would just be weird , my parents are refusing to let me get an education and I feel so extremely powerless in this situation it has made me super depressed please HELP 😭😭 I am super desperate 😔😭 I am a female from Pakistan
@@donmuller9644 She didn't ask what NOT to eat-She asked for a list of foods that she CAN eat. It isn't that simple to say don't eat this that-When your hungry you don't what to think "Is this on the can't list" every time you want to eat. Better to have a list of "CAN" eat foods so it isn't about everything you 'CAN'T" have. Then you won't feel so deprived and hopefully you will have a plan.
@@chillrelax6915 - Ribeye steak! Lamb! Bison! Hamburger of any fat level! Eggs! Bacon! Basically a carnivore diet. Fat doesn’t spike insulin at all. It eliminates the problem of insulin-spiking unless you eat too much protein at one time. Your body switches over to burning fat after an initial adjustment. That energy is smooth and consistent over time. Brain fog disappears. Some people do better or worse on pork or poultry or fish or red meat. Some do great on everything. Poultry, especially commercial poultry, tends to be pretty high in inflammatory polyunsaturated fats. Some people with a lot of inflammation might feel more symptoms of that, plus inflammation interferes with fat burning. But if it works for you, keep those chicken thighs with skin on coming! Keeping a food diary,along with a diary of how you feel, is very useful once you get into the fat burning stage. Until you get there, you will definitely have more hunger because your body is begging for sugar. It can be very insistent, especially if you have been using caffeine as well. Full fat dairy is preferred for people who can handle it. It still has carbs in it, And some people are lactose intolerant to a greater or less or degree, and some people just cannot lose weight when using it. It’s very individual. Some people have been living on a completely carnivore diet for well over 10 years now and they don’t have any problems with constipation, or heart disease, or blood vessel calcification or cholesterol etc. Here are some names you might find on RUclips and elsewhere: Charles Washington, Amber O’Hearn, Kelly Hogan, Shawn Baker MD, Mikhaila Peterson. See also carnivore Facebook’s like women’s carnivore tribe, Principia carnivora, Raw food rebels, names like that.
I get my potassium from romaine lettuce and spinach it's much better. I also eat soft boiled eggs and sardines in olive oil. OMAD IF and cardio everyday has helped me lose a lot of Belly fat, and I was even able to reverse my type 2 diabetes. 💪
They extort keto people here with my beloved sardines. The olive oil ones cost three times as much as sunflower seed oil version. The difference in production cost is minuscule though.
@@gzl3131 currently I do about 20k steps a day, 10k is enough but because i really enjoy walks and distracting myself i always go for more. and I jog maybe 15-30 mins a day, it doesn't matter where u are in ur health just do what you can and work your way up from there. This time last year i couldn't sprint or jog without getting injured. I always try to get my steps in everyday no matter what. You just gotta start.
I love your videos!!! I am from Bulgaria, living in USA and always cringe at people putting stuff in their yogurt. In Bulgaria we call it ‘sour milk’, so we are used to eating it plain. Also, Lactobacillus Bulgaricus is the main bacteria used for the production of yogurt. I make my own yogurt or the closest to the real deal is ‘Trimona’, that I have found at Whole Foods and Wegmans. You should give it a try ☺️
I'm 61 years old and it has been 6 weeks since I began the 16/8 intermittent fasting method in addition to greatly reducing sugar and complex carbs. I have lost 12 pounds and and four inches off of my waist (belly button measurement). My blood pressure has dropped from 130/80 down to an average of 110/60. Thank you Dr. Ekberg for your informative videos. The amazing thing is that this is even with continuing my afternoon bourbon and cigar at the cocktail hour.
Weight loss is probably one of the best things to do for the majority of people. I had started the keto diet last to get my weight down to 190. I started from 205. I'm 6-1. I was worried about how my blood work results would work since I've never eaten so much meat before. Especially with the eggs and bacon or sausage in the mornings. I had blood work done a couple of months ago and my cholesterol numbers had dropped despite eating so much meat. I dropped the keto diet after reaching 190. Now I just eat a lot less carbs so I haven't been gaining the weight back.
So basically every commonly accepted fact about weight loss is wrong? Muscle doesn’t matter, no to whole grains, no to berries…and did anyone notice this guy never mentions protein? What can we eat??
There is nobody doing this kind of internet tutelage who has this much understanding who imparts complex issues with such clear and accessible simplicity without loss of detail. Amazing teacher.
40 years ago I realised that on days when I did not eat breakfast I did not have any hand tremors (cured by having a snack) at about 11 am as all my work colleagues did. So I stopped having breakfast. No one could explain to me why this was so, until I saw your videos explaining the rise and fall of insulin after eating carbs and the subsequent hunger. I am now almost on a carnivore diet and OMAD. I feel great and my BMI is now in the normal range. I particularly like the fact you are not pushing sales of any products but give good advice and information so that we can make our own choices. Anything you earn from Utube is well deserved.
@@dudanunesbleff If you try waiting until you are hungry before eating I expect you will get past lunch easily without problems. I can hardly remember what hunger feels like.
Hi Donald, I just started with OMAD as well I do have a breakfast smoothie around 10.30 and then around 1.30 my meal May I ask what foods you eat and have helped to stay full? I try to eat as many vegetables as I can and add chicken and some rice Thank you in advance
@@martineiradukunda298 Currently I am not eating fruit except for a few berries. I avoid starchy veg like potatoes and anything made with flour. I eat meat and fish with some vegetables like cabbage. Fruit, starchy veg and anything made with flour will make you hungry 2 to 3 hours after eating. I do not use any vegetable (seed) oils, I use dripping or lard. Have a look at Dr Sten Ekberg's channel, he has good guidance.
easy for you guys but for me snacking and regular meals is the only thing that works. if i take too long between meals i end up overeating when i do eat. and for me a meal has to be something hot. otherwise its a snack in my mind.
I make Bulgarian yogurt and started to do milk Kefir. I struggled as I had hardly any energy so everyday for the last 3 days when I changed the milk on the Kefir I have made a smoothie with it.The day after I first drank it i started doing exercises,I was stunned at this. I feel so much better than I did and I’ll keep going🙏🙋🏻♀️🤞
It’s hard to find out what you should eat to stay healthy. I personally avoid any process foods, including sodas, NO SUGAR. Green organic leafy veggies, protein and little bit of fruit it’s all I need. I make my own meals at home. I feel better. Everyone is different you need to listen to your body and avoid what causes you harm and stress to your body. . Good luck everyone. I made my own meals simple and tasty.
I’m not as good in English as I want, but I understand everything here. This guy can explain thing’s perfectly because he knew exactly what he is talking about. The PowerPoints are great, he talk’s in a perfect speed and he articulate every word perfect. A professional rhetorician. Thanks RUclips algorithms for this tip 👍🏻👍🏻
Your English is really good, but may I make one correction? There's no need for an apostrophe in the word "things", which is just a plural (more than one) and "talks" which is simply a verb. I wish I was as good at your language as you are mine.
I’m studying nutrition science-just want to say this was an excellent thorough analysis. So many “experts” are using conjecture and not backing up with evidence based peer reviewed RCTs-longitudinal studies. You are a breath of fresh air in the quagmire of diet “expert” quacks. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Yes..and there so many misleading articles in otherwise reputable e-news papers which dont give any opportunity for comment, and those that do allow commentd block you if you challenge!
I’m someone who lost 40 lbs doing Keto. But I haven’t gained any back at all eating carbs again. As long as I keep my daily calories under 2000 a day the scale never goes up. I’ve even continue to lose while staying in a calorie deficit but it requires eating less than 1500 cals a day. So from my experience - do Keto to lose the weight. But once you lose what you want to lose you can go back to eating carbs as long as you keep your calories in check & you’ll be fine.
Dear Dr. Ekberg I just love your dry humour on occasions, those nuggets just make all these facts more easily digestable. Keep up the good work you've done.
Lots of good points here! I appreciate hearing that you can’t take average statistics and make inferences about individuals. It’s an important point. Have to be very aware of what a study really measures and what interpretations are made! Thank you!!
I became vegan almost 4 years ago. I suffered from PCOS for 15 years or so. I was overweight and miserable and depressed because I couldn't get pregnant. I stopped eating meat, dairy and processed food. I still eat bread but I bake healthy bread myself, I eat all the legumes available every day . I still enjoy a good dessert but in moderation. I don't crave sugar every day like I used to. If someone tells me any fruit or veggies are bad for you I just laugh. My diet is balanced and I'm never hungry. I only had to make a few changes and i did it without another so called doctor who would rather poison me with pills and hormones that never worked for me. I managed to lose all the excess weight with those simple changes .and I'm about to give birth to my first child. My only advice is to don't eat more than your daily kcal deficit requires, avoid processed food and don't believe all of these doctors on RUclips blindly
I recently got diagnosed and am doing the same thing and I’ve been feeling so much better as well and I do feel already that my stomach is starting to go down! It’s only been a month and a half, nice to see your message!
The entire trick is to not eat sugar. Period. Sugar takes many forms (ie bread, rice, pasta, etc...) and thats what we shouldn't be eating. You can loose weigh eating ANY food if portions are small enough, but most people eat more than they should and thats why they gain weight.
Congratulations on your first child 💐😃 I have PCOS, too. Now I'm 54. In the last 20 years, I did 6 times a wait lost from 35 kilogram. Even though I cooked fresh food every day and backed my one bread, the weight came back. It was so frustrating. Knowing about insulin resistance and how to reverse it, I started a whole new life 😁. I'm eating one ore twice a day, and it is so satisfying. Never got hungry in between. ButI cant do fruits (at the moment) because my I.R. and my liver isn't healthy. So everyone has to find his own way, to get there in the end, right ? Greetings from Germany 👋🏻🇩🇪
@glickmpb That's true for healthy people. 👍🏻 But if you want to reverse insulin resistance/ diabetes type2, it's time to cat out all the carbs. What you can eat depends on your health status. For now, I can only eat the food that doesn't need insulin to digest. Greetings from Germany 👋🏻🇩🇪
I am 60 and I have a body that most 35 to 40 years old men can only dream of : I never exceed more then 2 meals daily . Between1 and 2. I am never sick either . I fast 16 hrs almost daily
I’m 49 and have been doing this for four weeks now. I’ve been fasting 18/6 hour window to feed. I’ve lost fat all over my body. I feel great and now, no longer crave sugary foods. I look better than I did 25 years ago and can’t wait to see my results after a year. 👍🏽 This man has opened up an entire new world for me 🙏🏼
My stepdaughter has not been fat, but she leaned that direction. She had some tests done and based on the results, she made one single change in her diet: she cut out sugar. I think she’s allowed a certain amount per day (not sure what that number is). But that was the only change she made. She has dropped so much weight, it’s simply remarkable. She’s actually teetering on the edge of being skinny.
Same here, I cut out all sugar! I’ve lost 20 pounds in 3 weeks and still losing a bit but have leveled out at 170 at six foot tall. And I don’t miss it at all.
One of my sisters has a body that deals with fructose in a way that makes her fat. Since she found this out and stopped eating fruit and choosing to replace fruit with vegetables she has been able to maintain a good body weight with no tummy fat.
In the 80 's. Banana s had little black seeds in them and we're tasty. Today they are so genetic modified they have no health value. I am very concerned about the fda approving "cellular meats". Dr. Could you help us understand what is this and how will we digest it. I am grateful for your videos as I truly believe if you have your health you are a wealthy human... Be well everyone, start at any age to give yourself a happy life.
Brilliantly clear video. I have written several books on weight control and I love to your clarity and precision of explanation. I particularly liked the reference to the tyranny of the average. Very few studies have enough participants to look at the fringes of the scores to draw conclusions. Perhaps the best was. Chris Gardner’s analysis of four weight reduction protocols where he showed that some people actually gained wieght on a randomly assigned diet.
Dr. Ekberg you are everyone's treasure here. I go along with your suggestions and lost on OMAD 29.70 lbs since June 14 this year. I feel light feel so young. Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤
@@AsWeSpeak154 hi there, np. My usual eating time is at noon. When comes to meal I'm trying to use every day various vegetables and meats. So let's say today I will have a fried or cooked beef, broccoli, asparagus, carrot, red bits. Tomorrow I may have fish, with green leafy vegetables. I don't eat any carbs whatsoever, no sugar and no milk or cream to coffee. After meal I have my dessert time and eat handful of nuts; Brazilian nuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds. and couple bars of no sugar chocolate. I'm getting up very early in the morning and my breakfast is; first a water with apple cider vinegar, then black coffee. I said that eat at noon but I don't want to fall to pattern and give my body sense of stability. I'm switching time sometimes ahead or before noon. That way my body is confused and have to use my body fat to produce cell a necessary fuel. I'm not counting calories or checking for vitimins percentage if that is enough fir every day, but I don't feel hungry or dizzy. If I feel hungry I have my carbonated water with pinch of himalayan salt and hunger is gone. Now I have reached my goal of 31 lbs on Aug 14 and I'm cheating, a bit. Eat some carbs two meals a day and it's been 60 days and I keep my weight at desire level.😊😊😊😊😊
Oh this is SOOO good!! I love ❤️❤️the arsenic and mercury analogy to point out comparing frosted flakes to oatmeal, etc!!?? (Thank you also for being on the livestreams for Owen!!🥰)
So if its unhealthy to eat oatmeal what the heck should I eat for breakfast if traditional cereal and oatmeal is a no go. Anything quick and easy before going to school?
Listen carefully, a ripe or overripe banana contains a lot more sugar than a green banana. If you want be more healthy eat green bananas and green mangos.
I get so depressed and stressed listening to this, this is worse than a fanatic pastor talking about sins. According to this guy, we should all live in a farm with our own crops and animals and should stop eating things like brown rice and oat meal, this is insanity and not possible and I can assure you trying to follow these guidances will lead you to not wanting to be alive anymore.
As for youghurt; my taste buds have adjusted so much I can easily eat plain Greek unsweetened yoghurt and even sour cream straight out the pot on its own like its ice cream 😅 Never did I see that day coming lol
You nailed it. Once the taste buds get used to less, or no sugar, anything with high sugar will taste horrible. The beauty is, it doesn't take long, to program the tongue to enjoy no sugar foods.
I’m totally obsessed with this stuff and I’ve seen everything from every camp of health and well being on RUclips. This guy is absolutely the best. He nails it. Probably one of the worst vids of his to say this but honestly.. This guy is all you need. You can spin out forever with competing ideas concerning health on RUclips. This man has a stellar approach and actually focuses on the core concepts and nails it so well. I hope in time more people understand the concepts he’s teaching as I see health declining so quickly here in the west
So if we quit eating all together we will eventually be very thin, dead, but very thin. Or maybe I should eat like my grandma. All the stuff that is supposedly bad for you. She will be 98 on her next birthday.
Life changing video’s. You have really helped me understand foods and how they affect the body. Combined with fasting you have made such a positive impact on my health. Awesome!!! Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you Jay Webb. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you have studied the information enough to see the bigger picture. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and the mechanism we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
I don't eat three planned meals a day like the industrial revolution trained us to do. I now eat when I'm hungry and start my meal with a full 16 to 20 oz of water green tea. I eat slowly and never in a hurry. I average 13 meals a week. I eat NO refined foods and eat meat two to three times a week. It works for me but may not be the diet everyone needs.

Thank you Dr Ekberg for saving lives. I always look forward to your video/teachings and we love how you break it down to a layman’s understanding. My family appreciates you. Thanks for all you do ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Isabelle chukwura. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and the mechanism we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
Love these informational vids. I suffered for about 20 yrs + from a young age to my mid 30s when I gave up with my doctors and their "conventional" approach as I was just getting worse never better. So did research stopped wheat and dairy It's taken some time but now I'm in a good place, recently started the intermittent fasting and cold showers and never felt so good I've actually gained muscle mass which is something i always struggled with. Another bonus the debilitating migraines I used to get , disappeared completely. 👌
"Fiber can reduce the insulin-stimulating effects of carbohydrates, making it one of the main protective factors against obesity...." Dr. Jason Fong, author of The Obesity Code.
Good! For a moment I thought I was the only one who had read that same or similar things in a number of health articles I have read over the years... It was driving me crazy the way he is dissin' beans/ legumes/lentils and fruits because of their carb count while completely ignoring the large amounts of beneficial fiber these foods contain. Not to mention also that these foods have complex carbs. Not simple ones like white wheat products and sugars. Its only the simple carbs that have the large unhealthy spikes in insulin response...
I'm keto and have been for several months and doing quite well. I've lost 50 pounds and am now at my recommended and goal weight. Berries are, and have been, one of my staples, although I certainly watch my serving size. Without them, my diet wouldn't be nearly as successful. I agree, much of the marketing strategies out there are leading us astray when it comes to a healthy diet. I wouldn't include berries which are filled with nutrients and antioxidants but have very little sugar/carbs per serving. I guess I'm a bit defensive here because I truly love my berries. Take anything but them and my eggs and I'm good.
Some people insist on pushing carbs no matter what. Point is, keep your daily carbs below 50g (below 20g even better), and most chronic metabolic conditions will dramatically improve. (Don't use any seed oil either.)
@@ShihTzuVideosTV I'm not sure constant keto is that good either, but humans are markedly different from other carnivores, mainly our brain. e.g. cats eat mostly protein, while a mostly protein diet would be fatal for humans long term (we need fat). Olive oil and coconut oil are quite different from seed oils, and at least I haven't seen evidence of their harm (unless they get oxidized).
@@defeqel6537 humans are not carnivore nor herbivore. We are omnivores. We can eat protein if it contains enough fat. Yes we would die if we only eat lean meat. But a lion would also die if it didn't get enough fat.
@@defeqel6537 Hey dumbshit, where are you getting your facts? There is no study that proves long term keto is harmful. There is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate, whereas, there are essential fatty acids. Get it?
Great work! Thank you for helping to educate me. Previously, my experience with eating and food was related to the US gov food pyramid and seasame street. The rest of the information came to me through the aggressive subliminal advertising campaigns. I've neglected my health for a long time, possibly my whole life. Thanks to you making these incredible videos you have helped make my life better in North Florida USA. Most of the people I know are visibly overweight and unhealthy when it comes to exercise or working. Their diet is filled with toxic snack foods like soft drinks, cheesy puffs, nacho dip, twinkies, etc. I'm working toward changing my personal diet and exercise routine in sustainable changes that can be maintained. I'm not saying this to get a response. In fact, I have my notifications turned off so I will never see any reply. The only reason I say this is to show you an anecdotal example of how your videos are helping me to make important changes in my life and how to continue to increase these changes over time. There is a steep learning curve for someone like me, but I could always do better. Your videos are helping me get better.
Thank GOD for these doctors thats why im not losing weight im eating bananas everyday i was doing everything correct i was eating salad exercising taking apple cider vinegar ive been stuck on 90 kg for weeks thank you for this video
I'd like to point out that at the very start of a diet or sometimes even for months down the line, your weight might not fluctuate much, but your whole body will be changing. For a multitude of reasons 1- Body recomposition. You might be gaining the same weight in muscle that you lose in fat. Which gives the impression of no progress while in reality, you're killing two birds with one stone. 2- better mitochondrial efficiency and activation. Slowly but surely your body will start adapting to the food given to it and the actions demanded of it. Therefore while delayed, your metabolic rate will rise and you will see delayed results. So don't expect results just a week of treating your body right just.after 5-10 years of ..not doing that. Hope this helps ❤️ best of luck on your journey.
That's pretty good. See if you can get the 23 hours fasting. So I do that everyday. So I have a one-hour window to eat my dinner. So I started on September 11 now it's January 13th. So I lost 29 pounds. Yes I still do eat some snacks. But I eat it with my dinner. Like I'll have a couple pieces of Hershey's dark chocolate. Right after dinner. Within the 1 hour window.
@Albert Raschiatore Cheers to that! Your comment just inspired me to try. Ive been doing the common 8 hr window, but now Im gonna try the 23 hr fasting. Thx!🍎🌻🤗
@@steve54 I just started by skipping lunch. Never ate. Breakfast. But I ate snacks. Probably 6 times a day. And that would include a 12 oz Coca-Cola. So I just cut back on the Inna Coca-Cola. Until I had it down to one meal a day. Try putting two spoons apple cider in a glass of water. Almost taste like beer drinking. Apple cider. So it doesn't have any calories so it's not breaking the fast. And you feel like you're drinking something not just water. So I weigh 240. As of today I weigh 150. That's good enough. My military papers said I weighed 152 when I enlisted in the Air Force at 18. We just had a big birthday party I bet I weigh 152 now
Day 23 of Ketosis no sugar carb intake 30/35gr daily. In my life this s the only formula that works. I have suffered from the mid section fat areas since I was a kid. Almost 60 and determined not to grow old and fat. This time I have made the change for good. Your videos are so comprehensive that I can understand nutrition labels and how each impacts my daily path. Thank you
@cadillacbluez Ketosis is not sustainable for most people. INSTEAD, I try to adhere to periodically using intermittent fasting....the days of actual eating I make a huge pot of Russert potatoes with cabbage, colorful peppers, onions, carrots, and top it off with a poached egg for each serving....eat this all day until 7pm..the next day is FASTING, start with a cup of coffee and drink lemon water ALL DAY ( Eat a handful of pumpkin seeds or 500 calories of protein, if you can't go the entire day with no food whatsoever ). The next day make your huge pot of potato/vegetable stew, add lean chicken or pork chops to the recipe...eat this all day until 7 pm...Next day INTERMITTENT FASTING again. Do this until desired weight loss is achieved.
@@SC-uq2jf People have trouble staying on any diet or eating plan. I have been on low carb/keto for two years now. I lost 25 pounds, reduced my cholesterol levels into a health range and reversed my borderline pre diabetes. I LOVE LOW CARB DIET.
@@freesoul3371 That's great... You should be proud of a 5lbs loss, let alone 25lbs, that's impressive. I am asthmatic and have no interest in dieting....I don't have the OCD to Count calories ( Just kidding here, lol ) or carbs. I will eventually find the regimine that works for me ... the intermittent fasting is a start for me.
@@SC-uq2jf Thank you for taking the time to share your plan. I was doing IF for a long time but plateaued and couldn't break out of it. I do like the idea of a higher carb day followed by a day of fasting. I can make 24. I am going for a full 90 days of hard KETO at which time I will try your soup at least once as I dabble in ways to safely introduce good carbs up to 50/60 a day. Thanks again
@@cadillacbluez You're doing great without my 2 cents, lol. The Big pot of potatoes and veggies stew, with a poached eggs ( add egg right into pot when heating up a bowl for a serving ) is my lazy- woman one pot to eat out of all day....The generous bowls of potatoes, cabbage etc. and poached egg or two with each bowl is satiating... you will be full.. it's dense in volume, but NOT high in calories so you can eat from 7am til 7pm on your NON-FASTING DAY... Alternate EVERY other day as a fasting day until you see results.
i am a type 2 diabetic and all i can say is after ditching metformin and eating healthier there is a big difference just the way your energy levels stay consistent.. this man has helped me alot and i thank him for it. always delivering useful info. the eating less and feelin less hungrier is definitely true!
i ditched my metformin by going vegan, guess there are different ways....I stopped eating meat/dairy/ of course butter/olive oil....still love my Ezekiel Bread!! Good luck!!
Metformin didn’t help my mom to lose weight. She passed away from T2D complications. Change your diet and DON’T take this medicine. I believe it killed here more quickly. 😢
I get sick of all these studies and videos out here. I don't know anymore what to eat and when. Only thing I do know it's better to eat vegetables and fruits and nuts etc instead of processed food anyway. And I will eat like when I was at my parents, normal three meals per day and last dinner was at 5 pm and then long time no food till next day the break fast. And only in the weekend I had an extra like chocolate or some chips. And we ate when we were hungry not because it was exactly time to eat.
With eating ketogenic foods I've cut out processed sugar and went from 241lbs to currently 178lbs in 9 months. This channel is lifesaving for someone like me who's genetics store the majority of my my excess fat in my abdomen. Thank you for this knowledge.
Hi Dr. Sten, let me express my gratitude for sharing your knowledge. I have already lost 40lbs. by following your advices. Low Carb and IF were really the key on my fat loss journey. Even my skin became glowy. I coud not be more healthier.
Just here to say thanks for these informative and wonderful videos.. Had quite a few of those "aha!" - moments since I came across this channel. Didn't understand why I was suddenly gaining weight (never had a big issue with that before). I never eat sugar and sweets, and I don't care for junk food, so I had no clue what to change. I was looking restrospectively into the last two years when this started, and it was when I started working as a hotel night manager. Working night shifts obviously creates weird sleeping patterns, it stresses and wears the body down. Guess my cortisol / stress levels has been through the roof, although I didn't notice it. There are probably more explanations and issues to adress, but overall, things are making a lot of sense! I've changed job, started fasting, and things are improving rapidly.
Thanks doc. Been listening and following keto for last few years. It’s genuine. I like the quote you mentioned…only 20% of foods offered at the market are good for you..80% is good for your doctors. 🎩
im trying to lose weight but tbh I prefer to just control my portions and to eat as healthy as I can paired with regular exercise and yo go slow but steady, becuase 90% of the things in this video are in my diet and without them I honestly don't know what I would eat lol I'd much rather lose weight slowly but surely than to be miserable and not eat bananas, oatmeal, greek yogurt or (wholeweat) bread, etc. But I appreciate the breakdown!
I agree. I am going to go back to whole food plant based on 16/8 or 18/6 eating window. But plain yogurt-no sugar.. just berries, and the first 2 weeks, only vegetables-no beans or grains. Then by week three, add them in.
very tasty! Except he won't let you eat apples at average of 20 net carbs per apple. But unless you are extremely insulin resistance i would continue eating them

@@jakeherter Half a gallon of milk has 96g carbs, of which 88g are sugar (lactose). You might want to rethink your "low carb" diet.
After watching over 10 videos about what to eat/not eat of Dr. Sten Ekberg I realise that the only way to reach my goals are by eating only water.
😀😀
DUDE SAME... i dont know what to eat now i think i just stick to eating water
Next go watch Dr. Ken D Berry, unless you're vegan...
Edit: Since he talks about carnivore diet
Same here........maybe only breathe...😁
Lol with chickpeas
3 basic things I found, 1. stay away from any type of food that is processed, 2. cut sugar totally and 3. do fasting...
best thing to do is eat air. it's low calorie, and bakes very well. it might raise insulin though.
@@jamesgarner2103 LOL, one thing that raises insulin is a diet high in carbs and low in healthy fats
✅️✅️✅️
Same. Add in strength training and walking outside.
All is great but i need energy to run, and not damage my blood vessel or plaque
When I was 18 I decided to lose weight. I weighed about 205 lbs. and stood around 6 feet tall. Here's what I did. . .AND IT WORKED!!! I began jogging every day (LONG before jogging was even close to being "a thing" to do). I didn't run very far, but I ran EVERY DAY. I quit eating sugar and carbs. NO bread, cake, cookies etc. I only ate protein, beef and a little fish once in a while. . .And lots of veggies such as broccoli, some peas and carrots, and some green beans. I drank water, some unsweetened tea, some unsweetened coffee and diet sodas once in a while as well. I became addicted to this routine as the weight began to come off. In fact, I took it too far and finally at 145 lbs. I said enough is enough and stopped being so strict about my diet. But I did NOT go back to much sugar as I had kind of lost my taste for it, and even though I did go back to some carbs, I didn't overdo that either. From that time on I have maintained a weight of around 157 lbs. ever since. I'm now 73 and I've noticed a bit of fat around my middle since I became a "covid recluse" for the past three ridiculous years, but I can handle that now that the world isn't demanding that I "hide out" in my apartment anymore. My point is that after my diet regimen at 18 to lose weight, I haven't constantly denied myself some things I want occasionally, and my weight hasn't gotten out of control. I think it's more common sense than having a list of this is OK and this isn't. I pretty much KNOW what isn't, and just don't overdo those things. So now at 73 my motto is, "Everything in moderation. . .Including moderation."
Thanks, I'm 6'00 and have been 205 for the last 20 years, I gained 21 pounds in the last 3 weeks because I have been sugar binge eating sugar like crazy which facilitates more Sugar cravings. I've eliminated sugar for 3 days, fasted and I cannot believe my body is changing already in 3 days so I will walk, not run, 30 minutes a day but also follow your matrix!!
😂👍🥰
Actually u ate carbs. Veggies are carbs
Amen!!
Good summary of healthy eating...it took me over 50 years to come to this same conclusion 😊 Low carb, high fat eating only real foods now. Lost 50 pounds and don't have sugar craving and binging anymore. Industrial processed foods and seed oils are the worst and avoid completely. Good health to you ❤
So to sum up the video, the best food you can have is a nice big bowl of water. Maybe you can have some shaved ice over top now and then, but don’t overdo it guys 😂
😂 maybe lil watermelon as a treat! 🍉💦 😅

Save yourself 20 minutes and just limit sugar in your diet.
Eat green bananas and don't eat yellow bananas.
When he is saying that he was a former Olympian, it is 100% true since I was at the same Olympic games and remembers him! Me- Athletics, team Canada 1992-1996 ;-) He is an Olympic life champion! Best regards and thank you from Montreal, Canada!
You still can see him in RUclips, good looking guy, still good looking until now grrrr😁😷
Yeah, I think I read somewhere that he was top 10 (maybe 9th) in the Olympics he competed in. Some people think that if you don't get a medal, then you failed. Top 10 in the world is an outstanding achievement, making him a premiere world-class athlete. I was a college runner, not Olympic material (didn't even qualify for Olympic trials in my event, the 800, missed by 3 full seconds, which is a lot), but I know how much work goes into getting to that level. (In my case, I put in the work, but simply didn't have the physical talent to get there.)
He competed in decathlon. One has to be good in 10 types of event.
Never doubted his claim to Olympics.
I remember watching you Serge. All the best from New Zealand

@@drekberg You are precisely correct. Understanding how and why something works enables Someone to take correct action to fix it. You practice the long lost talent of teaching people how to think
Today, people are trained to simply believe whatever they are told, Is beginning an elementary school, At least since 1960s.
They are not taught critical thinking and because of this, Hundreds of millions of people believe all kinds of lies over the last several decade.
Like the food Pyramid which Was taught in all-American schools, Which demonized fats, Eggs, meat and told you to eat more grain. I remember after Americans followed this everywhere, everyone got fat and heart disease got worse.
The same thing happened withappen with political and historical beliefs as well.
So many people believe Ridiculous things just because their teacher, professor, and especially someone please someone in the main screen media dear told them to think that.
Agreed about his personality and generosity too. My insurance would never cover five minutes of what we get from him. We're very lucky to have people like him willing to help others.
Agree with all that have posted in this thread. I also listen to Dr Berg and Dr Berry but my favourite is Dr Ekberg for the very reason that he has an exceptional ability to explain concepts.

2. Yogurt
3. Berries - Antioxidant reasons
4. Complex Carbs

Same for me , dr sten saved my life
We live 5 mins from his clinic, fantastic doc and staff. Worth the drive!!
Agree! I live in Florida, maybe a long drive but so very tempting. Been trying to find something comparable, more local without success so far. Many of the Homeopathic listed doctors here appear to be on the weird side, at least to me but really don't know. Dr. Ekberg comes across very scientific, well thought out reasoning vice using Voodoo magic for cures.
Yes, he explains things very clearly.
Dr Ekberg is a brilliant communicator with a great approach. These short videos with clear, calm explanations started me on my road to (much) better health, over a year ago. So so grateful!
I am a financial adviser and have started sharing your videos with some of my clients with health issues. Find them so informative !!!
Thank You Carmen Nykamp. That really makes my day when people from all walks of life start sharing the content for the betterment of mankind. 😄
Great job Carmen, I tell my family all the time what good is having money if you’re too sick to enjoy it. Time will tell.
Actually, that's really effective FINANCIAL advice, since your clients' improved health will quickly translate into money saved. And, if they're still working, then by improving their health, looks, and brainpower, they will probably make more money, too.
I've saved tons of money keeping up with good health all these years! 50 yrs old..haven't seen a doctor in about 20yrs or so, haven't even had insurance in almost 17yrs! $$$$$$$$ tons of money saved in rip off America!
Sure I might have cancer soon from the environment, but how long do we really want to live in this messed up world?
It is crazy that the video has over 8K views and 1K likes already in the first hour! Way to go Dr. Ekberg!
Crazy, but sad! Those likes should be much, much higher! Everyone needs to double check at the end of the video to be sure they remembered to hit the 👍 button!

Yes, I knew what you meant. You were clear. I was ADDING to that - it’s a shame that so many come and learn but don’t repay by just simply hitting the 👍. I know sometimes I used to forget myself so I now check again before I actually leave his channel. ☀️
Sorry Dr Ekberg but I don't get your thumbnail. It says that hummus is a no-no (a big disappointment for me as a hummus lover), but when going inside the video you don't really explain why. All you say is that the study that showed that chickpeas are better than toast & jam and whole wheat does not necessarily mean that chickpeas are good. However you never pointed out exactly what is wrong with chickpeas. So either you used a misleading thumbnail or you never bothered to stand behind its message.
Hummus is very "caloric" (sorry I'm Italian)
But i love it and I eat it... twice at week...
The chickpeas were part of a Study which was mentioned in the whole last quarter of the video. He considered it a flawed study. Flawed reasoning is a big part of all the confusion around proper nutrition. If you don’t have any metabolic disorders like diabetes then eat hummus.
The last sentence is pure gold : "You can never predict an individual case based on the everage statistics". It is true not only in the medical field, but in every domain of life. Pitty so few people understand that.
I'm confused. One group say eat this but another says don't eat it. One group says work out another says work outs wont help you. Why cant the health industry provide consistent advice?
Thank You William Bolton. That is the whole point of every video in my library. Once you understand the mechanisms and principles, you don't have to take anyone else's word for it. You figure out what list makes sense and what's going to work for you. 😄
Are you the brother of John Bolton ?
@@drekberg Thank you for your response. I agree and I accept that we all have subtly different responses to various diets and exercises. It just feels a bit frustrating when I hear apparently sound advice elsewhere only to realise later that it may not be the best way to proceed. I have a lot to thank you for, I have lost 30lbs over the last 18 months following your advice and working out from home, so I don't include you in my criticism of the food and health industries.
I think with the work out message the consistent element is that excersise (at an appropriate intensity) will benefit you, but those saying it won't help you are perhaps trying to dispel the common belief that losing fat *requires* frequent strenuous activity.
I follow a personal trainer who is still having to tell people you can't do sit ups to get a flat stomach and that "abs are made in the kitchen" because that myth still persists.
You have to find what works for you. Everyone is different including their mindset and motivation.
As with all these videos, just dont eat sugar, carbs or grains.
And, as with all these videos, the good doctor explains WHY. That’s the important part.
Not to mention seed oils.
Im happy to tell you, that at 69, I went from 204 to 165 pounds and feel better than for many years. My waist and indeed my whole body is smaller, I look like I did after High School. I can still run and play and defend myself, if necessary!!:) Thanks so much for your help! I enjoy cooking my own chicken or steak or salmon, with berries and greens and eggs, OMAD works great, I never feel hungry. I allow myself little treats and they do not add weight because I eat only a few and with my other food. I had serious insulin resistance and now I have the tools to control it and all the rest, it's fabulous. Thanks again!;)

Exactly - people should eat everything but in small amounts
Result! Keep on going, the benefits are brilliant. I wished we'd had this information in our youth (I'm a similar age); instead we had "Findus Crispy Pancakes" and "Angel Delight"
David Gladstone What are the little treats you allow yourself? Also, how long did it take you to lose the weight?
I'm diabetic, in remission. I went from 225 to 145 because of the diabetes, then leveled out when I got my BG under control. I've gained 9 pounds since I started eating lots of home-made chickpea hummus. It doesn't make my BG go up a lot, but it stays up, sometimes around125, for a long time. Like 4 hours or longer, and even into the next day. And I love hummus, I could live on the stuff.
Well, a simple "thank you" should do it. Went from 88kg to 78. Much appreciate it! 🥰
Thank you Dantutz for sharing your story. That is great. I am thrilled that you have seen such great results. Keep it up! 😄
Amazing ❤️
How did you do it?
@@sukhjotesingh9613, not eating for fun or out of boredom anymore. Eating my first meal of the day as late as possible and the last one no later than 8-9h from the first one.
And, of course, I've tried to forget about unhealthy food.
Quite easy, looking at the big picture.
@@Dantutz excellent advice. I'm on the same path. I've lost 2.5 kilos by simply stopping with the junk food high carbs I was eating out of boredom. I've also thrown in a quick 20 - 30 minute workout and go on several walks a day.
I lost 140 lbs in one year, and I absolutely ate beans, bananas, berries, etc. what I cut was starch from pasta, bread, rice, and potatoes, and lessened my portions, and I used intermittent fasting. What works for one may not work for someone else, but I WAS fat, and did have a big belly, and I lost it eating many of the foods you say not to. 💁🏼♀️ (I am not, and have never been diabetic. Maybe that makes a difference.)
Starch especially sweet starches like donuts cakes. Also with me ice cream makes me gain weight
In science we call this anecdotal fallacy. "My uncle Louie smoked and drank everyday and lived to 110." We don't know you or your diet before and after. However, science has shown that it is possible to eat fruits and carbs and be healthy. I haven't eaten meat in over fifty years and am extremely healthy.
It also depends on your life style. But this doctor is simply presenting factual numbers, when it comes to these foods' characteristics and properties.

00:00 🍏 Different opinions on best foods for losing belly fat require understanding the underlying reasons for including them in a list.
00:56 🍌 Eating certain foods doesn't "burn" fat; it's more about how long you can go between meals without eating.
02:38 🍌 Bananas can be high in carbs, especially fructose, which can contribute to belly fat for individuals with fatty liver or insulin sensitivity issues.
04:00 🥛 Flavored yogurts often contain excess sugar, counteracting any potential benefits from the good bacteria they provide.
05:50 🍓 Antioxidants don't deliver more oxygen; they counteract the action of oxygen. Berries are beneficial but won't directly lead to fat loss.
08:01 🌾 Complex carbs like oatmeal and brown rice don't lower insulin; they're neutral to it. Comparing them to sugary cereals doesn't make them a healthy choice.
09:52 🥛 Chocolate skim milk may be low in calories but contains high sugar, contributing to insulin levels and fatty liver, a main cause of belly fat.
13:14 🍽️ Caloric deficit is crucial, but choosing foods that keep you full longer is key. Focus on real, nutritious foods, not just counting calories.
16:37 🥙 The study on chickpeas compared to toast and jam doesn't definitively prove chickpeas are a fantastic choice; it only shows they're better than the latter.
20:12 📊 Studying insulin effects on a mildly overweight, mildly insulin resistant population may not be applicable toindividuals with more significant insulin resistance. Statistical averages may not apply to individual cases.

There was no way for a human to control where they lose body fat, it comes off in different sections naturally.
Your face first
Everyone should try intermittent fasting, it has pushed me to next level, both mentally and physically!
Yes please, but only if you are healthy physiologically.
Combined with keto

Doc, please just give a list of 20 foods to eat to loose belly fat.
Just eat once a day..
@@donmuller9644 She didn't ask what NOT to eat-She asked for a list of foods that she CAN eat. It isn't that simple to say don't eat this that-When your hungry you don't what to think "Is this on the can't list" every time you want to eat. Better to have a list of "CAN" eat foods so it isn't about everything you 'CAN'T" have. Then you won't feel so deprived and hopefully you will have a plan.
@@eagle4god373 Yes, exactly. What the heck do we eat besides butter.
So wheres the list im very fat
@@chillrelax6915 - Ribeye steak! Lamb! Bison! Hamburger of any fat level! Eggs! Bacon! Basically a carnivore diet. Fat doesn’t spike insulin at all. It eliminates the problem of insulin-spiking unless you eat too much protein at one time. Your body switches over to burning fat after an initial adjustment. That energy is smooth and consistent over time. Brain fog disappears.
Some people do better or worse on pork or poultry or fish or red meat. Some do great on everything. Poultry, especially commercial poultry, tends to be pretty high in inflammatory polyunsaturated fats. Some people with a lot of inflammation might feel more symptoms of that, plus inflammation interferes with fat burning. But if it works for you, keep those chicken thighs with skin on coming!
Keeping a food diary,along with a diary of how you feel, is very useful once you get into the fat burning stage. Until you get there, you will definitely have more hunger because your body is begging for sugar. It can be very insistent, especially if you have been using caffeine as well.
Full fat dairy is preferred for people who can handle it. It still has carbs in it, And some people are lactose intolerant to a greater or less or degree, and some people just cannot lose weight when using it. It’s very individual.
Some people have been living on a completely carnivore diet for well over 10 years now and they don’t have any problems with constipation, or heart disease, or blood vessel calcification or cholesterol etc. Here are some names you might find on RUclips and elsewhere: Charles Washington, Amber O’Hearn, Kelly Hogan, Shawn Baker MD, Mikhaila Peterson. See also carnivore Facebook’s like women’s carnivore tribe, Principia carnivora, Raw food rebels, names like that.
I get my potassium from romaine lettuce and spinach it's much better. I also eat soft boiled eggs and sardines in olive oil. OMAD IF and cardio everyday has helped me lose a lot of Belly fat, and I was even able to reverse my type 2 diabetes. 💪
They extort keto people here with my beloved sardines. The olive oil ones cost three times as much as sunflower seed oil version. The difference in production cost is minuscule though.
Avocados also have more potassium than bananas.

I'm 61 years old and it has been 6 weeks since I began the 16/8 intermittent fasting method in addition to greatly reducing sugar and complex carbs. I have lost 12 pounds and and four inches off of my waist (belly button measurement). My blood pressure has dropped from 130/80 down to an average of 110/60. Thank you Dr. Ekberg for your informative videos. The amazing thing is that this is even with continuing my afternoon bourbon and cigar at the cocktail hour.
Still having bourbon and cigar, awesome!
Everything in moderation.
Weight loss is probably one of the best things to do for the majority of people. I had started the keto diet last to get my weight down to 190. I started from 205. I'm 6-1. I was worried about how my blood work results would work since I've never eaten so much meat before. Especially with the eggs and bacon or sausage in the mornings. I had blood work done a couple of months ago and my cholesterol numbers had dropped despite eating so much meat. I dropped the keto diet after reaching 190. Now I just eat a lot less carbs so I haven't been gaining the weight back.

40 years ago I realised that on days when I did not eat breakfast I did not have any hand tremors (cured by having a snack) at about 11 am as all my work colleagues did. So I stopped having breakfast. No one could explain to me why this was so, until I saw your videos explaining the rise and fall of insulin after eating carbs and the subsequent hunger.
I am now almost on a carnivore diet and OMAD. I feel great and my BMI is now in the normal range.

That's interesting. I've stoped having breakfast this year, and I am not hungry before lunch time.
@@dudanunesbleff If you try waiting until you are hungry before eating I expect you will get past lunch easily without problems.

I do have a breakfast smoothie around 10.30 and then around 1.30 my meal
May I ask what foods you eat and have helped to stay full?
I try to eat as many vegetables as I can and add chicken and some rice
Thank you in advance
@@martineiradukunda298 Currently I am not eating fruit except for a few berries.
I avoid starchy veg like potatoes and anything made with flour.
I eat meat and fish with some vegetables like cabbage.
Fruit, starchy veg and anything made with flour will make you hungry 2 to 3 hours after eating.
I do not use any vegetable (seed) oils, I use dripping or lard.
Have a look at Dr Sten Ekberg's channel, he has good guidance.
easy for you guys but for me snacking and regular meals is the only thing that works. if i take too long between meals i end up overeating when i do eat. and for me a meal has to be something hot. otherwise its a snack in my mind.
I make Bulgarian yogurt and started to do milk Kefir. I struggled as I had hardly any energy so everyday for the last 3 days when I changed the milk on the Kefir I have made a smoothie with it.The day after I first drank it i started doing exercises,I was stunned at this. I feel so much better than I did and I’ll keep going🙏🙋🏻♀️🤞
How are you now? I hope well!!
It’s hard to find out what you should eat to stay healthy.
I personally avoid any process foods, including sodas, NO SUGAR.
Green organic leafy veggies, protein and little bit of fruit it’s all I need. I make my own meals at home. I feel better. Everyone is different you need to listen to your body and avoid what causes you harm and stress to your body. . Good luck everyone.

Your English is really good, but may I make one correction? There's no need for an apostrophe in the word "things", which is just a plural (more than one) and "talks" which is simply a verb. I wish I was as good at your language as you are mine.

I’m someone who lost 40 lbs doing Keto. But I haven’t gained any back at all eating carbs again. As long as I keep my daily calories under 2000 a day the scale never goes up. I’ve even continue to lose while staying in a calorie deficit but it requires eating less than 1500 cals a day. So from my experience - do Keto to lose the weight. But once you lose what you want to lose you can go back to eating carbs as long as you keep your calories in check & you’ll be fine.
Dear Dr. Ekberg I just love your dry humour on occasions, those nuggets just make all these facts more easily digestable. Keep up the good work you've done.
Lots of good points here! I appreciate hearing that you can’t take average statistics and make inferences about individuals. It’s an important point. Have to be very aware of what a study really measures and what interpretations are made! Thank you!!
I became vegan almost 4 years ago. I suffered from PCOS for 15 years or so. I was overweight and miserable and depressed because I couldn't get pregnant. I stopped eating meat, dairy and processed food. I still eat bread but I bake healthy bread myself, I eat all the legumes available every day . I still enjoy a good dessert but in moderation. I don't crave sugar every day like I used to. If someone tells me any fruit or veggies are bad for you I just laugh. My diet is balanced and I'm never hungry. I only had to make a few changes and i did it without another so called doctor who would rather poison me with pills and hormones that never worked for me. I managed to lose all the excess weight with those simple changes .and I'm about to give birth to my first child. My only advice is to don't eat more than your daily kcal deficit requires, avoid processed food and don't believe all of these doctors on RUclips blindly
Lovely news, fast and easy Momma
I recently got diagnosed and am doing the same thing and I’ve been feeling so much better as well and I do feel already that my stomach is starting to go down! It’s only been a month and a half, nice to see your message!
The entire trick is to not eat sugar. Period. Sugar takes many forms (ie bread, rice, pasta, etc...) and thats what we shouldn't be eating. You can loose weigh eating ANY food if portions are small enough, but most people eat more than they should and thats why they gain weight.
Congratulations on your first child 💐😃
I have PCOS, too. Now I'm 54.
In the last 20 years, I did 6 times a wait lost from 35 kilogram. Even though I cooked fresh food every day and backed my one bread, the weight came back. It was so frustrating. Knowing about insulin resistance and how to reverse it, I started a whole new life 😁. I'm eating one ore twice a day, and it is so satisfying. Never got hungry in between. ButI cant do fruits (at the moment) because my I.R. and my liver isn't healthy. So everyone has to find his own way, to get there in the end, right ?
Greetings from Germany 👋🏻🇩🇪
@glickmpb That's true for healthy people. 👍🏻
But if you want to reverse insulin resistance/ diabetes type2, it's time to cat out all the carbs.
What you can eat depends on your health status. For now, I can only eat the food that doesn't need insulin to digest.

My stepdaughter has not been fat, but she leaned that direction. She had some tests done and based on the results, she made one single change in her diet: she cut out sugar. I think she’s allowed a certain amount per day (not sure what that number is). But that was the only change she made. She has dropped so much weight, it’s simply remarkable. She’s actually teetering on the edge of being skinny.
Thank you for the information in your videos. I have learned alot, I have learned what to eat. I am greatful.
Same here, I cut out all sugar! I’ve lost 20 pounds in 3 weeks and still losing a bit but have leveled out at 170 at six foot tall. And I don’t miss it at all.
Did she eat carbs?
Now tell her to cut out bread. Health is not only about being skinny. And if you are american "skinny" is prolly European overweight ;)

Lee: Do you mind telling me what you had in one typical meal, also the time you ate and portions?
@@AsWeSpeak154 hi there, np.
My usual eating time is at noon.
When comes to meal I'm trying to use every day various vegetables and meats.
So let's say today I will have a fried or cooked beef, broccoli, asparagus, carrot, red bits.
Tomorrow I may have fish, with green leafy vegetables. I don't eat any carbs whatsoever, no sugar and no milk or cream to coffee.
After meal I have my dessert time and eat handful of nuts;
Brazilian nuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds. and couple bars of no sugar chocolate.
I'm getting up very early in the morning and my breakfast is;
first a water with apple cider vinegar,
then black coffee.
I said that eat at noon but I don't want to fall to pattern and give my body sense of stability.
I'm switching time sometimes ahead or before noon.
That way my body is confused and have to use my body fat to produce cell a necessary fuel.
I'm not counting calories or checking for vitimins percentage if that is enough fir every day, but I don't feel hungry or dizzy.
If I feel hungry I have my carbonated water with pinch of himalayan salt and hunger is gone.
Now I have reached my goal of 31 lbs on Aug 14 and I'm cheating, a bit. Eat some carbs two meals a day and it's been 60 days and I keep my weight at desire level.😊😊😊😊😊

"Fiber can reduce the insulin-stimulating effects of carbohydrates, making it one of the main protective factors against obesity...." Dr. Jason Fong, author of The Obesity Code.
Good! For a moment I thought I was the only one who had read that same or similar things in a number of health articles I have read over the years... It was driving me crazy the way he is dissin' beans/ legumes/lentils and fruits because of their carb count while completely ignoring the large amounts of beneficial fiber these foods contain. Not to mention also that these foods have complex carbs. Not simple ones like white wheat products and sugars. Its only the simple carbs that have the large unhealthy spikes in insulin response...
I'm keto and have been for several months and doing quite well. I've lost 50 pounds and am now at my recommended and goal weight. Berries are, and have been, one of my staples, although I certainly watch my serving size. Without them, my diet wouldn't be nearly as successful. I agree, much of the marketing strategies out there are leading us astray when it comes to a healthy diet. I wouldn't include berries which are filled with nutrients and antioxidants but have very little sugar/carbs per serving. I guess I'm a bit defensive here because I truly love my berries. Take anything but them and my eggs and I'm good.
These are my two non-negotiables also! And 100% apple juice (not from concentrate) with no added sugars.
Some people insist on pushing carbs no matter what. Point is, keep your daily carbs below 50g (below 20g even better), and most chronic metabolic conditions will dramatically improve. (Don't use any seed oil either.)

Great work! Thank you for helping to educate me. Previously, my experience with eating and food was related to the US gov food pyramid and seasame street. The rest of the information came to me through the aggressive subliminal advertising campaigns. I've neglected my health for a long time, possibly my whole life. Thanks to you making these incredible videos you have helped make my life better in North Florida USA. Most of the people I know are visibly overweight and unhealthy when it comes to exercise or working. Their diet is filled with toxic snack foods like soft drinks, cheesy puffs, nacho dip, twinkies, etc. I'm working toward changing my personal diet and exercise routine in sustainable changes that can be maintained.
I'm not saying this to get a response. In fact, I have my notifications turned off so I will never see any reply.
The only reason I say this is to show you an anecdotal example of how your videos are helping me to make important changes in my life and how to continue to increase these changes over time. There is a steep learning curve for someone like me, but I could always do better. Your videos are helping me get better.
All of us could do better. I hope you stick with your new healthier way of eating.
Love the arsenic/mercury analogy. Brilliant!
Thank GOD for these doctors thats why im not losing weight im eating bananas everyday i was doing everything correct i was eating salad exercising taking apple cider vinegar ive been stuck on 90 kg for weeks thank you for this video
I'd like to point out that at the very start of a diet or sometimes even for months down the line, your weight might not fluctuate much, but your whole body will be changing. For a multitude of reasons
1- Body recomposition. You might be gaining the same weight in muscle that you lose in fat. Which gives the impression of no progress while in reality, you're killing two birds with one stone.
2- better mitochondrial efficiency and activation. Slowly but surely your body will start adapting to the food given to it and the actions demanded of it. Therefore while delayed, your metabolic rate will rise and you will see delayed results. So don't expect results just a week of treating your body right just.after 5-10 years of ..not doing that.
Hope this helps ❤️ best of luck on your journey.
Are you serious? Enyone loosing weight knows that bananas are high in calories and fructose and should be eliminated from your diet.

That's pretty good. See if you can get the 23 hours fasting. So I do that everyday. So I have a one-hour window to eat my dinner. So I started on September 11 now it's January 13th.

Until I had it down to one meal a day. Try putting two spoons apple cider in a glass of water. Almost taste like beer drinking. Apple cider. So it doesn't have any calories so it's not breaking the fast. And you feel like you're drinking something not just water. So I weigh 240. As of today I weigh 150. That's good enough. My military papers said I weighed 152 when I enlisted in the Air Force at 18. We just had a big birthday party I bet I weigh 152 now
Day 23 of Ketosis no sugar carb intake 30/35gr daily. In my life this s the only formula that works. I have suffered from the mid section fat areas since I was a kid. Almost 60 and determined not to grow old and fat. This time I have made the change for good. Your videos are so comprehensive that I can understand nutrition labels and how each impacts my daily path. Thank you
@cadillacbluez Ketosis is not sustainable for most people. INSTEAD, I try to adhere to periodically using intermittent fasting....the days of actual eating I make a huge pot of Russert potatoes with cabbage, colorful peppers, onions, carrots, and top it off with a poached egg for each serving....eat this all day until 7pm..the next day is FASTING, start with a cup of coffee and drink lemon water ALL DAY ( Eat a handful of pumpkin seeds or 500 calories of protein, if you can't go the entire day with no food whatsoever ). The next day make your huge pot of potato/vegetable stew, add lean chicken or pork chops to the recipe...eat this all day until 7 pm...Next day INTERMITTENT FASTING again. Do this until desired weight loss is achieved.
@@SC-uq2jf People have trouble staying on any diet or eating plan. I have been on low carb/keto for two years now. I lost 25 pounds, reduced my cholesterol levels into a health range and reversed my borderline pre diabetes. I LOVE LOW CARB DIET.
@@freesoul3371 That's great... You should be proud of a 5lbs loss, let alone 25lbs, that's impressive. I am asthmatic and have no interest in dieting....I don't have the OCD to Count calories ( Just kidding here, lol ) or carbs. I will eventually find the regimine that works for me ... the intermittent fasting is a start for me.
@@SC-uq2jf Thank you for taking the time to share your plan. I was doing IF for a long time but plateaued and couldn't break out of it. I do like the idea of a higher carb day followed by a day of fasting. I can make 24. I am going for a full 90 days of hard KETO at which time I will try your soup at least once as I dabble in ways to safely introduce good carbs up to 50/60 a day. Thanks again
@@cadillacbluez You're doing great without my 2 cents, lol. The Big pot of potatoes and veggies stew, with a poached eggs ( add egg right into pot when heating up a bowl for a serving ) is my lazy- woman one pot to eat out of all day....The generous bowls of potatoes, cabbage etc. and poached egg or two with each bowl is satiating... you will be full.. it's dense in volume, but NOT high in calories so you can eat from 7am til 7pm on your NON-FASTING DAY... Alternate EVERY other day as a fasting day until you see results.
I am learning a lot everyday. Thank you for opening my eyes.
i am a type 2 diabetic and all i can say is after ditching metformin and eating healthier there is a big difference just the way your energy levels stay consistent.. this man has helped me alot and i thank him for it. always delivering useful info. the eating less and feelin less hungrier is definitely true!
i ditched my metformin by going vegan, guess there are different ways....I stopped eating meat/dairy/ of course butter/olive oil....still love my Ezekiel Bread!! Good luck!!
Yes I’ve also been prescribed metformin …. Does it not work ?
I am about to do the same! Type 2 d and high tryg
Metformin didn’t help my mom to lose weight. She passed away from T2D complications. Change your diet and DON’T take this medicine. I believe it killed here more quickly. 😢
Nothing wrong with metformin for most. People controlling my diabetes well and no side effects whstsoever
I get sick of all these studies and videos out here. I don't know anymore what to eat and when. Only thing I do know it's better to eat vegetables and fruits and nuts etc instead of processed food anyway. And I will eat like when I was at my parents, normal three meals per day and last dinner was at 5 pm and then long time no food till next day the break fast. And only in the weekend I had an extra like chocolate or some chips. And we ate when we were hungry not because it was exactly time to eat.
With eating ketogenic foods I've cut out processed sugar and went from 241lbs to currently 178lbs in 9 months. This channel is lifesaving for someone like me who's genetics store the majority of my my excess fat in my abdomen. Thank you for this knowledge.
How much of it is genetics? What if your parents had taught you that when you were a child? I think most anybody stores fat in there guts
Bravo 👏 👏 well done!
Any exercise, or strictly a change of diet, Goldenbeam?
@Joe Barone 😂
What are ketogenic foods?
Hi Dr. Sten, let me express my gratitude for sharing your knowledge. I have already lost 40lbs. by following your advices. Low Carb and IF were really the key on my fat loss journey. Even my skin became glowy. I coud not be more healthier.
Me too! The fasting was the key for me!
I needed a mentor like you in life ❤
Thank god youre here
Anyone else play at 1.5 speed?
Hahaha 😂!
Oh come on!!! Yes, you get sugar from black beans and lentils, but it isn't REFINED sugar like in soft drinks or donuts!

Just here to say thanks for these informative and wonderful videos.. Had quite a few of those "aha!" - moments since I came across this channel. Didn't understand why I was suddenly gaining weight (never had a big issue with that before). I never eat sugar and sweets, and I don't care for junk food, so I had no clue what to change. I was looking restrospectively into the last two years when this started, and it was when I started working as a hotel night manager. Working night shifts obviously creates weird sleeping patterns, it stresses and wears the body down. Guess my cortisol / stress levels has been through the roof, although I didn't notice it. There are probably more explanations and issues to adress, but overall, things are making a lot of sense! I've changed job, started fasting, and things are improving rapidly.
Hello Anina
Thanks Doctor, happy Friday.
Thank You Terufumi Siu. Same to you 😄
Why does this thumbnail have Hommus on it? Is this just clickbait? What kind of "Dr" are you?
Thanks doc. Been listening and following keto for last few years. It’s genuine. I like the quote you mentioned…only 20% of foods offered at the market are good for you..80% is good for your doctors. 🎩
Can you please provide a video of specific foods to eat for losing belly fat?
Memo: Sweeten things (like yoghurt) with setvia or monk fruit
Actually goat milk plain yogurt and kefir is amazing and high in mcts.
im trying to lose weight but tbh I prefer to just control my portions and to eat as healthy as I can paired with regular exercise and yo go slow but steady, becuase 90% of the things in this video are in my diet and without them I honestly don't know what I would eat lol I'd much rather lose weight slowly but surely than to be miserable and not eat bananas, oatmeal, greek yogurt or (wholeweat) bread, etc. But I appreciate the breakdown!
We don't care.
I agree. I am going to go back to whole food plant based on 16/8 or 18/6 eating window. But plain yogurt-no sugar.. just berries, and the first 2 weeks, only vegetables-no beans or grains. Then by week three, add them in.
Glad he mentioned the plain yogurt, that is actually my favourite type of yogurt, with apples or blueberries.
very tasty! Except he won't let you eat apples at average of 20 net carbs per apple. But unless you are extremely insulin resistance i would continue eating them
Watching your videos is so empowering!! Thanks Dr Ekberg!! Regards from Argentina!!
Thank You Crist 24. That is my purpose. 😄
I am disappointed to hear about potatoes, beans & legumes. Are all potatoes beans & legumes bad for you?
